For each Enabled Station that establishes a connection, SDLC creates a Port entity.
1 – show
show sdlc port The show sdlc port command displays the attributes for the SDLC Port subentity. A Port subentity is created dynamically for each connection to a remote station. Each Port is created when a connection is established and deleted when the connection is terminated. Use the command show sdlc port * to display a listing of the existing Ports. Ex, ncl> show sdlc port 1 all counters
1.1 – Identifier
Name A unique value assigned to the Port by the SDLC
entity. The value is an unsigned integer.

UID Displays the entity's unique identifier, which
is generated when the Peer Server creates the entity.
Station Displays the name of the SDLC Link Station subentity
that the client specified in the connection request.
Client Displays the name of the client that connected to
this Port's Station.
Role Displays whether the station role is to be primary
